Question: Other than your smartphone, what piece of hardware is a must-have for entrepreneurs?

Old-School Phone

"Nothing is more frustrating than trying to have a conversation with someone who is using Google Voice and a cell phone in lieu of a landline. If you're running a business, you need a landline phone. Period. Shell out the $15 or $20 per month, and save yourself (and your customers) endless frustration. "

Extra Battery

"If every piece of hardware were a Greek hero, the iPhone would surely be Achilles. This is because it's a mighty business tool with a fatal flaw: the unreliable battery life. Never leave home without an extra battery. You can find hundreds of iPhone batteries on Amazon. Although the mophie battery case is the best known, my favorite is the ZAGGsparq because it's a charger and battery in one unit."

Mobile Internet

"I’ve lost count of the number of presentations I built, bugs I fixed or A/B tests I started from the backseat of a cab, a commuter train or the airport terminal between flights using my mobile Internet card and my laptop. You can bang out so many more emails with a proper keyboard. Before we had an office, employees or paying customers, we had mobile Internet cards."

Apple TV

"Bring videos, keynotes, and demonstrations off the small screens of your devices and onto a television using Apple TV. We use this daily for viewing our live streams and videos on YouTube as a team. "

A Kindle

A Webcam

"As an entrepreneur, you’ll need to connect with a lot of people, and sometimes you’ll need to be in more than one city in a day. With limited travel budgets and time resources, a webcam can help you stay well-connected while you try to interview new talent, network or raise money."
